The location, size, description, ownership details, price and in some cases even pictures of your house are all a matter of public record. Google taking a picture of it from the street once every few years isn't eroding your privacy.

Uh did I miss something? Is google street view live?

I’m much more ok with a static image of the front of my house than a continuous stream of everyone coming/going and everything that happens in the windows.

When I lived in Germany you could have your entire address blurred. Is that not possible anymore?

Google Street View blurs faces.

They blur people from view with street view so it isn’t quite the same.
